According to a friend I was speaking with yesterday Polynesian or Maori (sorry don’t remember which) say that in their beliefs it is better for a person to pass along things that they own rather than keeping it completely to themselves.
It’s something that I love to hear. It’s something that reminds me of the essence of good community when you gift something to someone, and then they in turn do the same when they are finished with it. Plus think about all the material stuff that we would stop wasting if we passed things along.
So the first thing I did was contacted my friend Kelsey who is moving into a new home to see if she wanted my desk that I still have lying around in my sisters basements… (read: collecting dust and not being of any use unless given away)
Love, life, and laughter friends,
Shane
PS – next are all these books I have been carrying around and a few other things I can offload.

Yeah Shane-Dawg! Good to read up on my favorite Albertan’s travels in distant lands. Good on yah for getting into permaculture. It suits you treehugger. Your entry brought back memories of biking through oldgrowth, yo! Keep safe of macaroon pirates. Lemme know when you might be going back to Canada… there is an Africa tour you might be interested in round say… Sept.
Peace! Grease! Dumpstered Fleece!

Captain Crazy Bandit – How goes your travels down the coast bro? From what I’ve read pretty well and that makes me one happy mofo. Miss you heaps friend and perhaps we’ll have a chance to meet up unless you are off somewhere else.
HAA HAA yah the permaculture does suit me doesn’t it (def. something I’m considering for the near future).
As for hte bike ride send me the deets and we’ll see how things are going. I’ll be broke when I get home so that might be a problem (read: I arrive home in August and dunno where the financial situation will be at)
